Little rubber pads under your laptop

bandman · 10-13-2006, 09:16 AM

One of the little rubber non-slip pads on the bottom of my HP Laptop has come off. I went to a couple of places to check about them here in town and they don't keep them in stock, nor do they want to order them because they come in bags of 100 and there is very little call for them.

Any idea where I can get one?

Yup. Pop on down to the local Michael's or equivalent craft or hardware store. They sell the little, sticky-backed pads in either clear or black plastic intended to be stuck to the backs of pictures so that the frames don't rub on the walls. Usually they are sold on cards with about 6 to 8 "buttons" to the card.

Same here, I just put some on. They will pop off from time to time so get a bunch and replace as nessesary.

They should have them at RadioShack too.

Wow!

Nothing like raping the customer.. You're wise to look in another direction for sure.
